DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

File List: 
KilcerPuzierGermain_MakingTheConnection_Spring2021: This file contains the subset of institutional repository (IR) related data from the ACRL Scholarly Communication (SC) Tool Kit influenced website review of 145 ARL and Carnegie R1 institutions in Spring 2021. 
KilcerPuzierGermain_MakingTheConnection_Fall2021: This file contains the subset of IR-related data from the SC website review of 145 ARL and Carnegie R1 institutions, updated in November 2021 to identify reciprocal crosslinking patterns. 
KilcerPuzierGermain_MakingTheConnection_Spring2022: This file contains the subset of IR-related data from the SC website review of 145 ARL and Carnegie R1 institutions, updated in March 2022. 


Relationship between files, if important: The Spring 2021 data provided the basis for the Fall 2021 data, with the additional variable of reciprocal crosslinking. The webpages were reviewed again in Spring 2022 for the same variables and compared to the Spring 2021 data. Variables for all the datasets are defined in the codebook. 

Additional related data collected that was not included in the current data package: The original dataset of all of the scholarly communication variables from our review of the 145 ARL and Carnegie R1 institutions is not yet publicly available. 


METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: Using qualitative content analysis principles to review 145 Association of Research Libraries and Carnegie R1 library websites, we examined if and how scholarly communication topics were included on library websites. Our coding scheme focused on 35 scholarly communication elements influenced by the ACRL Scholarly Communication Tool Kit. 

While we did not review each entry separately to establish intercoder reliability, we were careful to create guidelines at the project’s start to establish common data collection practices and reliability. We formalized our decisions in a codebook.

From this original dataset, we selected a subset of elements focusing on the connection between scholarly communication pages and institutional repositories. 

Methods for processing the data: Text data were analyzed using Excel.
